Eleventh Alleged Russian Spy Skips Bail, Is Currently on the Lam

One of the 11 people suspected of involvement in a Russian spy ring has disappeared. Following yesterday’s arrest, Christopher Robert Metsos did not report to a Cypriot police station today, a violation of his $24,500 bail. (What a delightful word the adjective form of “Cyprus” is!) Some authorities fear that the 54, 55, or 56-year-old Canadian is attempting to flee the country, possibly aided by Russian intelligence officers, according to The Guardian. Metsos’s cranky, inconvenienced lawyer has said he is not aware of the whereabouts of his client, O.K.? “I haven’t heard from him at all. He had agreed to call me between 3pm and 4pm this afternoon but failed to do so. How can I represent him if I have no instructions?” he said. As they say: If you see a 50-something Canadian lurking around the “Turkish-run enclave in northern Cyprus,” say something!
